Two pocket tote for Stampin Up! a Storm

I have wanted to post this picture on my blog since the new mini was released, but it was one of the projects for Stampin' Up! a Storm to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease which was yesterday, I will show you the other projects over the next week, in the meantime here is the tutorial that I did back in 2007 for the bag. We used Walk in the Park DS papers & "Great Friend" Stamp set. I will be back soon to post some pictures of the day & tell you a little more of the excitement & success after I upload images.

Great Friend Walk in the Park card

"Great Friend" stamp set is my favourite from the current spring mini & it's free when you book a place for our upcoming World Card Making Day event to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease, hurry last days to register & spaces are almost full.
Supplies for the card:
So Saffron, Old Olive & Whisper White CS, Walk in the Park DS paper, Old Olive & Tangerine Tango inks. So Saffron Striped Ribbon, Scallop edge & Trio Flower Punches, the centres of the flowers are Tangerine Tango punched out with a Crop-a-dile.

Christmas Classics cards

I'm favouring "Christams Classics" Stamp set for my Christmas cards this year as I find it's so versatile & makes for easy, simple but gorgeous cards.
Colours are Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Baja Breeze with Whisper White as in Ski Slope DS papers.

Lovely as a Tree snowed Christmas card

A little white gel pen Magic!
This card's main technique is watercolour washed background, I used Pacific Point re-inker & picked up the ink with an aquapainter & on a water spritzed sheet of watercolour paper I started to wash the colour from top to botttom squeezing the aquapainter on the way down to get the graduation of colour, when dry I stamped the trees inked in Stazon & highlighted the branches with a White gel pen to get the look of snow, quite simple really & such a pretty card IRL.

Ice cream cone card

I've seen lots of ice cream cones since I have been surfing the net for Punch Art ideas & couldn't resist creating my own.
Supplies;
Rose Red, Regal Rose, Creamy Caramel, Very Vanilla & a teeny strip of Kiwi Kiss CS,
Tres Chic stamp, Scallop, 1/2" Circle punches, sponge, Pink Supanova Glitter & glue,
Paper Cutter (I used the scoring tool to score the Creamy Caramel CS every 1/2" both landscape & portrait) to create the waffle cone.
